Scientific paper

The NEIGE experiment is one of the nine experiments planned for the NetLander mission to Mars. It has two series of scientific objectives: (1) to determine Mars orientation parameters in order to obtain information about the interior of Mars and about the seasonal mass exchange between atmosphere and ice caps; and (2) to determine the total electron content (TEC) and the scintillation of radio signals in order to study the large- and small- scale structure of the ionosphere of Mars. These two sets of information will be derived from measurements of amplitudes and Doppler shifts of radio links at UHF and X-band between the NetLander microstations on the Mars surface and an orbiter and between this orbiter and the Earth (at X-band). We give a detailed description of both the scientific and technical parts of the experiment, as well as results from the simulation of the geodesy part: modeling of nutations, lenght of day and polar motion.
